| Subject: | More Kolb History |
This story just reminds us that we are still waiting for JH's history of
his adventures with Kolb. We'd really like to read it an have it recorded.
It's aviation history that'll never be repeated......

Richard/Kolbers:
I don't remember for sure. I imagine it was the standard white nylon gap
seal that came with the FS kits at the time.
You are referring to the "center section" I am assuming.

John, did that airplane have a normal gap seal? Just looking at the picture
it is hard to see it.

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is
amazing.

| Subject: | More Kolb History |
Hi John G/Kolbers:
You are absolutely right, John G. I don't think it will be repeated.
As I look back 35 years ago, this month, when I bought my first Kolb
kit, every day was a new day of building, modifying, experimenting, and
making mistakes. The cross country flights were virgin territory
everywhere I went. Most important the lasting friendships from people I
met along the way. Most of the people I know, I met through these
little airplanes.
I have one more adventure to get under my belt before I settle down.
Next month I turn 80. I plan to celebrate my 80th year by cruising the
Great Loop https://www.greatloop.org/ . It is an approximately 6,000
mile route along the waterways of the Tombigbee and Mobile Rivers, Gulf
of Mexico, the Atlantic Coast, Hudson River, Erie Canal, Lakes Erie,
Huron, and Michigan, the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee
Rivers, and finally the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway back to Demopolis,
Alabama, where I plan to start my trip. I'm also going to try to visit
Fort Hamilton, where John Wilkes Booth was imprisoned, on the Dry
Tortugas, 75 miles out of Key West, Florida, while I am in that area.
Entire cruise should take about 2 to 3 months depending on the
situation. I do not have a schedule to follow or dead lines to meet. I
may make this an annual affair until I get too old to enjoy. ;-)
Then I should have time to get started on the Memories of a Retired Army
Aviator. In fact, writing would be a good pass time for the days, maybe
weeks, of getting weathered in with nothing to do but polish Grumpy, my
25 foot Rosborough RF-246. Should have plenty time. I don't plan on
doing too much polishing on Grumpy.
To keep this Kolb oriented, I plan on meeting Marcus Kolb when I am in
the Philadelphia, PA, area. I have a lot of Army and airplane friends
that live along this route that I plan to visit.
